The Seventh Temple is a German television film by Martin Gies from 2003 . It is the pilot of the ARD crime film series Pfarrer Braun with Ottfried Fischer in the title role.

action

Pastor Braun was transferred to Hamburg as a prison pastor after he had hit the headlines through criminal investigations . As a pastor he got to know the imprisoned youth Armin Knopp. Braun succeeds in proving the boy's partial innocence by circumventing the obligation to confess to an inmate in a somewhat wet manner and thus to achieve his early release on parole. Because of these new investigations, Braun's next punitive transfer follows promptly, this time to Nordersand , a fictional North Sea island. Braun, his housekeeper Margot Roßhauptner and Armin as altar boy take over a small Catholic community. Braun's superior Bishop Hemmelrath wants to keep him away from the crime of the big city. But even in the deepest provinces, Braun encounters puzzling incidents and when the rich widow Gronewold - for her deceased husband Braun does not read a church-legal mass in Latin against “active charity” - Braun unexpectedly dies, Braun can prove that, among other things, a Dr. Hermann Teusch wanted to steal the widow's inheritance.
